1. Make sure your computer(s) have the required hardware and software, as described in Hardware and Software Requirements.

Installation Options

The Velocity Installer provides installation options for the Server, Client, Database, and Standalone Workstation roles. These options enable you to implement access control systems with varying degrees of complexity, to suit a variety of needs:

• If you have a small facility that only requires one computer (or if you want to set up a separate system for testing or training), you only need a single installation of Velocity on a standalone Workstation.

• If you have a larger facility that requires multiple clients, you need to first install a Velocity Server, and then install the Velocity Clients.

• If you wish to use a separate computer for the Velocity database, you need to first install a licensed edition of a supported version of Microsoft's SQL Server on that computer, and then choose the Data installation option (on the Install Options screen during the Velocity installation process) to install the Velocity database on that computer. Next, you can install a Velocity Server, and then install the Velocity Clients. (Make sure that the SQL Server Browser service is running so the Velocity Server and Velocity Client installations can locate the separate database server).
